Posted Sat Dec 8, 2012, 5:20pm Subject: what is a good rubber product with a glue backing for the forks of a MM grinder?

Anyone mod the forks of their mini so a bottomless portafilter stays put wile grinding? If I do not keep a hand on it, it will walk off the forks during grinding. I was looking for a adhesive backed rubber product with a good track record. Any suggestions?

That's exactly what I did on my Mazzer, but only on the "V" shaped bit, and I did need to cut partially through the tube to get it to go neatly round the bend.

I didn't find the portafilter was moving though - I did it because the metal edge was scratching the hard plastic handle of the portafilters I then had. Current portafilters have rubberised handles anyway, so probably don't need it any more, but it's still there.

You can also try stuff I use to seal up the air handling equipment at the schools I work at. Its a foam material with adhesive on the back, it comes in different sizes so you can choose the size you need. It can be found at any home improvement stores and it comes in rolls. I used some on my home made tamping stand which I made out of 2 inch channel iron it's in my picture next to this post.
